Re: VoIP Industry needs to answer some questions

But I think the mistake that Vonage and others are making is taking the stance of "hey where not a phone" leave us alone. Entering into discussions to resolve these and other issues is the only way to insure the long term survival of VoIP. There is always a middle ground.

While none of us like "surcharges" on our VoIP bill I am also sure that none of us would like to have 911 service go away especially that one time you may need it.

Universal Access is also something that has to be provided for the good of the society as a whole. This is not a technical issue but a financial issue.

IMHO, Vonage should add these fees to the bill and move on.

I agree the is a middle point. People are more concerned with there being "no going back" once any State or Federal agency steps in on VoIP. Perhaps there are problems with the act of regulation itself independent to VoIP. (I'm guessing some agreements will follow that one).

I think today, if I had to I could get 911 solved without the center ever knowing you called from Vonage. Any VoIP provider including ones that dont touch the PSTN could use this. But if the Government forces these companies to offer 911 exactly like Bell does, they almost have to change the name and start a new company. Its that drastic of an action.
